Emily of New Moon by L. M. Montgomery

Finished on 8/2.

Well, Emily will never take the place of Anne of Green Gables. It is difficult to pinpoint the exact reason: both are orphans taken in reluctantly, although Emily is with family; they are both imaginative and lead their friends into some crazy scrapes.

The setting is also PEI, and Montgomery makes every part of the island sound positively idyllic.

Emily just doesn't seem to stand out or up or whatever like Anne does. Emily would never have dyed her hair green - although she does cut herself bangs.
